I would like to invite Amitabh Bachchan (famous Bollywood actor more than an actor) for a Dinner night.

He is one of my favourite celebs, and I think he would be a great man whom I often dream to meet.

The most popular Indian, the most Elegant, wise, veteran man.
It would be implausible to meet him at this age. I would love to see how he will interact with me what I will ask him he is adult & sagacious. But I am sure he is connoisseur in conversation with people of any age. We both talk for hours.

In the Name of Ever-Merciful

The sun was nearly to say Goodbye and rush to the party on the other side of the earth…I fixed my speed with the sun…walking alongside a big park while going back home, I saw two old fellows…each fixed on several stony legs…they were settled in the middle of the wide pavement ….time had slapped them strongly that you could see its reddish trace on their bodies...even something more severely…a livid trace.And that was exactly what made them different…> time! <...  what

The Expectations

We all expect something from our lives, some of us are lost in the expectations and become the dreamers, others prefer to stay flegmatic and don't expect almost anything. Then there are people who keep their feet firmly on the ground and try to compromise between emotions and mind. Expectations aren't anyhow limited and it is up to us how much of our precious time we will invest in anticipating.

I would say that the expactations go together with hope some of them with dreams or tr

64) “Shade” and “Shadow” – This is a distinction that is important in English but is confused by most ESL students:

Shade is a volume of space, and a shadow is a two-dimensional projection on a surface:  You can stand in shade, but only on a shadow.  In other words, shade can surround you like a tent, but a shadow cannot – it is flat, like a stain.

“There is little shade here at noon.”

“This big oak tree provides lots of shade in the summer.”

“I could see his shadow on the wall.”

“The dog sat in my s

That your dreams
Are shattered,
Do not be afraid.
Have the courage
To pick up the pieces.
And smile at the world.
For dreams that are
Shattered can just
As easily be rebuilt.

Dear friends,

Ramadan mubarak!

I forgot to tell you that the holiday is on Friday and Saturday. Besides, I sent many letters to some of you last week. I wanted you to create a method or some mean so that we can practice together especially the speaking lessons. How do we meet during the week. Five or more people at one session or a conference? About  the different levels. How do we know that. When I send some exercises to some people, they just laugh and say, this is for a beginner. So many questi

If you don't know what Radaman is , here is a brief description about it .

What is Ramadan ?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is a time of fasting for the Islamic people. Each day during this month, Muslims all over the world abstain from eating, drinking, smoking, as well as participating in anything that is ill-natured or excessive; from dawn until the sun sets. Fasting is intended to educate the Muslim in spirituality, humility and patience. It is a time to cleanse the sou

Course Description
Many teachers feel alone. They wish they could share information and ideas with other teachers around the globe. This course provides teachers with opportunities to collaborate with other teachers on how to blend and flip their classes with technology.

This is a free hands-on professional development course for educators and/or anyone who wants to share information in a socially meaningful way. The course includes li

                 Which is worse, failing or never trying?

Well, all of us at some point in the many journeys we go through in our lives, we get to the part where we feel like giving up. Sometimes we give up before we even start to pursue what we want our dream about because we are afraid of making a mistake, or failing, and that's something that's always keeping us from making our dreams come true.

But if we never try, how will we know the outcome? So many people worry about what will happen if th

It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.

Easy is to criticize others.
Difficult is to improve oneself…

If I had to invite anyone over for a dinner party, I would invite a hero of our time , Nelson Mandela. Just a brief story about him, Mandela was a fighter instead of bowing down to an unjust system of government, he became a lifelong warrior in the battle to free South Africa. He started out as a leader of an underground political movement against the apertheid regime. Therefore, nothing better than inviting a leader for a dinner party .

Needless to say, a dinner party must be a gastronomic delig

Last year's Confederations Cup, a World Cup dry-run, was marred by massive, nationwide protests over perceived misuse of public funds, and many observers had predicted demonstrators would take advantage of the spotlight of the World Cup to air their grievances before an international audience. But so far, World Cup matches have attracted only a scattering of demonstrators, who have consistently been wildly outnumbered by security forces and haven't led to any disruption of matches.

I think that t
